I send communication and parent info home in a 3-ring binder. I use page protectors to slide the parent pages in and protect them all year. Your folders are BEAUTIFUL!!<br /><br />I do encourage my parents to read to their child and have their child read to them with a Home Reading Recording sheet. I give my students a prize when they return it filled up with books.<br /><br />Terri Izatt<br /><a href="www.merrykinderkapers.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">KinderKapers</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3593405645178985306.post-47380328967263806572014-09-14T14:22:09.549-07:002014-09-14T14:22:09.549-07:00First of all, I have to say I adore your website! ...First of all, I have to say I adore your website! The colors are so bright and cheerful. I also have a very time consuming homework folder with lots of info on it, so it is a home helper for parents. One of the things I have done is to make an 8 1/2 by 11 page of all the same info you have so it is much easier put on the folder. I have the page printed up, laminate it and staple to the plastic folder. I use 2 pocket plastic folder with prongs from Walmart. They last much longer than paper ones. Makes that part of Kinder prep so much easier. <br />Jennifer SaldanaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02609425937428732719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3593405645178985306.post-61100858507646325932014-09-14T12:00:35.073-07:002014-09-14T12:00:35.073-07:00For K, we use clear poly folders that have a flap ...For K, we use clear poly folders that have a flap at the top and secure with the string and circle tab. I don't know exactly which brand. Our school buys them for us. The look something like this: http://www.lionop.com/poly-filing-and-presentation-supplies/clear-plastic-envelopes-with-string-letter-size-envelopes-32100cr.asp There is a section to insert a paper. I like the way they close. It is really hard for stuff to fall out when the students hold them the wrong direction. They also can hold 9x12 paper when we send home a cutting craft. This year, I'm teaching 2nd, and I was given Nicky folders. I made similar inserts like you made for the front and back cover, but I didn't have to cut them. The front is all the Open Court sound spelling cards, and the back is all math.Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13678929151558144284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3593405645178985306.post-67663996697273562812014-09-14T09:23:55.659-07:002014-09-14T09:23:55.659-07:00Our curriculum (and district) requires nightly rea...Our curriculum (and district) requires nightly reading homework with the books they provide. I use a plastic document folder (one with velcro or snaps) that I purchased for each student at back to school time. These hold their books and the homework recording sheet. I like the references included in yours!<br /><br />Amanda<br /><a href="www.averycuriousclass.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">A Very Curious Class</a>Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06821626827458343376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3593405645178985306.post-51305865143824394132014-09-14T08:40:57.587-07:002014-09-14T08:40:57.587-07:00Wow!

I put sheet protectors in the prongs (as many as I need) and simply slide in the pages with things I want them to have access to all year (like your shapes, colors, sight words, etc.) I label one pocket NEWSLETTER and the other pocket HOMEWORK- COMPLETE AND RETURN.<br />I simply slide my weekly newsletter in one pocket and the homework in the other. Easy peasy set up. I glue a sheet on the front with my name, their name, room #, etc. I make sure the front is really cute with a great border and graphics.<br /><br />Hope this helps.
